Views:

The holiday at Piaomiao Daoyuan's lower courtyard island only comes once a year.

Every time a holiday comes, although not all students on Lower Court Island will leave, almost the vast majority of students will either go home or go out to practice during the two-month holiday.

Among them, most of the old students are practicing or cooperating with some groups in the federation to get what they need. For the freshmen who have been away from home for the first time for a year, returning home during the holidays is the first choice.

Now that the holidays are here, when Wang Baole leaves Linglu Cave and walks among the peaks of the Dharma and Weapon Department, what he sees in front of him are students one after another, carrying large and small bags, laughing and talking to each other with longing for their hometown. Boarded the airship home.

Just like when the new students arrived, due to the dangers existing in the federal wilderness, the Taoist Academy would be responsible for escorting and welcoming the students who were going home every holiday, and sent them to the designated city.

"President, see you at the beginning of school."

"Master, let's go first."

Before leaving, all the students who met Wang Baole greeted him warmly. It seemed that the awe they had for the Taoist Academy leader in the past had been diluted a lot due to the arrival of the holidays.

Wang Baole smiled and nodded to every student who greeted him. He was also affected by the atmosphere of everyone leaving. It seemed that the Taoist temple where he had lived for a year had lost his nostalgia for the past. In his heart, he felt for Phoenix City and the city. Mom and dad, I miss you more.

At this moment, his heart was about to return, and Wang Baole also quickened his pace. After returning to the cave, he packed up his luggage, threw everything into the storage bag and bracelet, and bought a lot of ice spirit water.

"This ice spirit water is a specialty of the Taoist temple. The taste in other places is different from here. Bring some more back to my mother to try."

Then he contacted Zheng Liang and spent a lot of spirit stones to buy some high-quality elixirs suitable for ordinary people. After sorting everything out, Wang Baole walked out of the cave and looked back at the residence where he had lived for a year. He took a deep breath With his tone, he sealed the formation at the entrance to the cave, and when he turned around, his eyes showed a bright light.

"Going home!" He laughed and ran down the mountain. At this moment, it was as if he had forgotten that he was the headmaster of the school, and instead returned to his appearance a year ago. He ran all the way down the mountain and went straight to the shore of Qingmu Lake. Huge airship plaza.

The place was almost the same as when school started, with crowds of people and laughter echoing around. The students said goodbye and boarded different airships. When Wang Baole arrived, he squeezed in the crowd and immediately heard shouts not far away.

"President, here, here!" Wang Baole looked up and noticed that Liu Daobin was waving to him on the hot air balloon airship not far ahead.

There were many familiar faces around Liu Daobin. They were all classmates who came from Phoenix together. Among them, Du Min and Little White Rabbit had already arrived. After seeing Wang Baole, Du Min snorted, "Little White Rabbit" Then a smile appeared on his face.

Chen Ziheng was also on the side. His expression was originally normal, but after seeing Wang Baole, he became a little unnatural. He was obviously thinking of Wang Baole's previous damage to the martial arts system and the opponent's rise in the magic weapon system this year.

Seeing Liu Daobin and others, Wang Baole hurriedly squeezed forward. His status as the headmaster on weekdays didn't have much effect now. There were really too many people here. Wang Baole finally squeezed in and climbed onto the airship. Finally, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he was about to take out the ice spirit water, Liu Daobin on the side had already stepped forward and handed over a bottle.

"President, I have prepared everything for you, and I have also bought all the gifts for my parents." Liu Daobin said with a smile.

Wang Baole looked at Liu Daobin and felt more and more that he knew how to do things. He laughed and patted him on the shoulder, took the ice spirit water and drank it.

When Du Min saw this scene, he turned his head and snorted again, obviously displeased with Wang Baole's appearance.

Drinking the ice spirit water, Wang Baole looked at the crowd outside the airship, and then looked up at the distant mountain peaks of the Magical Weapon system. His longing for Phoenix City emerged in his heart more and more, and there was still a doubt in his heart that always bothered him. Yu Huai, that is... most of the mysterious mask is obviously missing. Where did his father get it from and whether there is another half.

He had considered this matter for a long time and knew that this mask was absolutely extraordinary. Once known to outsiders, it would cause unnecessary trouble to the whole family. Therefore, he restrained himself and did not send a message to inquire. He planned to go back this time and find out in person. Answer.

Soon, as the airships vibrated, the airships on the square gradually lifted into the sky and entered the clouds and mist in the sky. Within the clouds and mist, they galloped away in all directions.

At this moment, the sword sun hanging high in the sky seems to be looking down at the world, watching the airships going home one after another...

The incomplete halo of the sun and the spiritual power emitted by the ancient bronze sword seemed to be a little different at this moment than in the past.

This year... is the thirty-eighth year of the Lingyuan Era.

A few days later, the airship flying to Phoenix City finally flew out of the cloud area and galloped into the vast sky.

Looking around, the blue sky and the endless emptiness set off the wilderness on the earth. Only occasionally some birds of various sizes will appear, flying past in the blue silk sky.

The occasional neighing makes the birds seem to have a different kind of beauty when viewed from a distance, but if you look closer, you will definitely see their bloodthirsty and ferocious eyes, as well as their claws and On the teeth, there is shocking flesh and blood of humans and animals.

This is today's federal wilderness, full of dangers. Although the ferocious beasts no longer have a unified command and leader like in the war back then, they have become scattered, but even ferocious beasts walking alone in the wilderness are a threat to people. , and it’s still not small.

And because of the emergence of spiritual energy, the ones that have been changed the most and most directly are the countless beasts and plants.

However, for the various cities in the Federation, after all, the war back then was a victory for humans, so under normal circumstances, they are enough to deal with the scattered beast tides. Even in the Federation today, with the rise of ancient martial arts and cultivation, they have begun to fight against The hunt for ferocious beasts.

For institutions like Piao Miao Taoist Academy, which are considered giants in the Federation, the airships that escort students out and back are equipped with many powerful spiritual treasures and are even escorted by strong men. In this way, the duration of this voyage The risk has also been reduced too much.

At this moment, on the airship heading to Phoenix City, many students of Piao Miao Taoist Academy are very excited. After all, this is their second long-distance journey, and because of a year of contact, they are better than when they were enrolled before. They are more familiar with each other, so they talk to each other a lot more, and the subtleties between men and women also emerge from time to time during this journey.

There are even many people who are already in pairs, making love to each other on this airship, which makes many single people envious, and at the same time, they are also muttering words such as showing affection will be quick to death.

Wang Baole was no exception. He was currently sitting in the cabin of the airship, shaking his head and speaking regretfully.

"Students of our generation have to stand up for themselves, speak up, and act up. They may have forgotten what the headmaster said. How can we be so dignified when we talk to each other every day?"

There were many students in the cabin, including Liu Daobin and others. After hearing Wang Baole's words, Du Min said "cut", the little white rabbit covered his mouth and smiled sweetly, while Chen Ziheng rolled his eyelids and ignored it.

"What the headmaster said makes sense." Only Liu Daobin applauded with a teachable look on his face, not caring about the eyes of the people around him. He always adhered to what his father told him these days, that is... As long as your boss says it, it must be correct!

As for the other students, many of whom were inspectors from the Law and Weapon Department, they were all nodding and responding.

Seeing that even after leaving the Taoist Academy, he still had so many supporters, Wang Baole felt happy in his heart. At this moment, he was talking enthusiastically. He looked at the people around him with relief and emotion in his eyes.

"We have all grown up. I still vaguely remember that when we went to school together, I was still a handsome and ignorant young boy with a slim figure and sharp eyebrows. And you are all still children, innocent and pure. Flawless, but time is not forgiving now, in a blink of an eye... we are all different from what we used to be, don't you think so." Wang Baole clasped his hands behind his back, his expression full of reminiscence, as if he was recalling things that happened many years ago.

It was just one year from the time everyone entered the Taoist Temple to the holiday now. As a result, Wang Baole's mature appearance immediately made everyone look at each other. Even Liu Daobin paused for a moment, thinking quickly about how to get there. Following Wang Baole's words, he felt that if he admitted it, he seemed to be saying that Wang Baole was old, but if he denied it, it seemed inconsistent with the good advice given by his father.

"This is a proposition!" At the end, Liu Daobin took a breath, feeling that it was very difficult.

Little White Rabbit couldn't hold it back any longer, and Jiaoxiao's stomach ached. Chen Ziheng pretended not to hear it, but Du Min endured it for a long time and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Uncle Wang, how expensive is Geng this year?" Du Min sneered.

"We are not what we used to be, Min'er, look, your breasts are also bigger." Hearing Du Min's sarcasm, Wang Baole glanced at her lightly, and looked even more sad as he shook his head.
